On move in day last February, we were happy just to have a floor. But once furniture and fixtures were carried through the doors, volunteers helped to construct a platform to serve for assemblies, debate, church worship use and more.

Thank you for providing, through your generous people, Lord Jesus!

Student Service Council

to form for next year

Service is its middle name.

Mr. Miller has released applications for next year's service leadership positions. These student leaders are responsible for planning and executing student events, including some joint elementary-secondary "cross-over" events that serve younger grades and parents.

Selected students commit to a year of service, growth, and modeling, in exchange for extra staff investment in time, training, and discipleship.

Hey ref, gimme a break!

Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Wright pause during the mayhem of the elementary Christmas party game. Students participated in a "snowball" fight in the gym. Since they teach kindergarten, these ladies were a natural pick to keep things in order.

One of the principal rules of religion is,

to lose no occasion of serving God.

And, since he is invisible to our eyes,

we are to serve him in our neighbor;

which he receives as if done to himself

in person, standing visibly before us.

- John Wesley

The girls varsity soccer team has been practicing as a team for only a couple of weeks, a challenge for what is a short spring season.

Would they be ready in time? Apparently so, as the squad carried away its first victory on the road Friday. The Mariners scored three goals against a talented Oakwood Christian team before they scored a point on a penalty kick. The early victory helps, because it is a conference game. Another conference match happens this Monday. It is a home game, offering fans a chance to cheer the team's action in person.

Home Game

Tues, March 12 at 5:00 p.m.

vs. Greenville Classical

at Field Day Park

1101 Field Day LN Clover SC 29710

Strong defense helped the Mariners hold their opponent to one goal.

Goal keeper, senior Abbie Bailes,

had strong support in the defensive backfield.

JV volleyball team gained skills!

This fall, the junior varsity volleyball squad picked up much practice and game time, the kind of experience that will make the players invaluable in further JV action, and varsity, too.

Look for information later this month from Athletic Director Aaron Morgan and Coach Alexandra Craig about spring and summer open gym practices.

The team looks forward to using the convenience of the updated and available campus gym to get a jump on preparations for next season.

Girls as young as 6th grade can plan JV in the SCACS league.

Waving the red flag!

Elementary students may not recognize Ms. Taylor as ref!

When she is not aiding teachers on elementary days, Sophia Taylor supports Mariner volleyball, and her sister and varsity player, Eva.

A varsity player herself, Ms. Taylor graduated from LPA this past year.
